Bug#598107: lintian: test for 'dpkg-divert --listpackage' which requires dpkg (>= 1.15)

[Andreas Beckmann <debian@abeckmann.de>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.4.3
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

there should be a test for using 'dpkg-divert --listpackage' in
maintainer scripts. This option was introduced in dpkg 1.15, so it is
not available in lenny and having it explicitly in debian/control of a
package making use of this option would make backporting easier (well,
makes it clear from the beginning that the package won't work in lenny
without changes).

Andreas
